Beneath the Harvest Moon Autumn fires burn in golden sunOctober hues have come undone.As catbird sings his mournful tune,I wait beneath the harvest moon. Whisked on the wind, leaves are falling.Feel the chill of winter calling.Love comes not a moment too soon,I wait beneath the harvest moon. Your lips taste of cabernet wine,Sending chills runningContinue reading “Beneath the Harvest Moon”

Vertigo
Vertigo My head is spinning round and round,My feet unsteady on the ground.I’m caught up in this undertow,I’ve got a touch of vertigo.

Summer Solstice
Summer Solstice The sun is settling down gently,casting shadows upon western peaks.Baby bunnies scurry towards the brushas the lonely catbird speaks. Clouds refract soft pastel hues,cotton candy melting in the skies.A spark of joy ignites my heart,and I am dancing with the fireflies. I chase the summer solstice,down to the wooden bridge.I leap through goldenContinue reading “Summer Solstice”

Spirit of the Forest
Spirit of the Forest Far above the towering redwoodsWhere the lone bald eagle flies,Steely clouds conspire and gatherTo break in alabaster skies.

No Closure
No Closure Your strangled voice echoed down the stairwell;Horrific words, a dagger to the heart.Like a heavy anvil, the sorrow fell…A bone crushing weight that tears one apart. Emotions scatter like leaves on the breeze;A free spirit, you reveled in your youth.Your beautiful soul riddled with disease…We struggle to accept this painful truth. No closure,Continue reading “No Closure”
